Fertile land

"He is a wonderful man." Ye Beiyao said hoarsely, and Jiang Shaoqing nodded slightly in agreement.
"You think highly of her."

Can't say no.

Ye Beiyao deliberately led them to the backyard kitchen, hoping that Jiang Shaoqing would leave an impression on Luo Zhi'er.
A large group of people arrived in the hall, and Mrs. Jiang saw her grandson Shaoqing leading a group of young talents.

There was relief in their eyes, and the other female relatives also secretly looked at the visitor.
The most eye-catching man next to him must be the young prince of the Marquis Palace. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, which are neither thick nor light, his narrow eyes are like gurgling spring water, and he looks so majestic.

"Grandma, my grandson wishes you blessings like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Haha, okay, get up quickly!"

The old lady helped him up.

Jiang Shaoqing gave the gift to his grandmother, and Ye Beiyao also stepped forward to salute: "I wish Mrs. Jiang that the sun and moon will be bright, the pine and crane will be bright, the smile will always be open, and the family will be happy forever!"

"well!"

Mrs. Jiang carefully looked at the prince of the Marquis Palace and was astonished.

Secretly sighing, Shaoqing is also very good, but he has to admit that Ye Beiyao is even better. He doesn't look like a playboy. He is obviously very polite, his words and deeds are quite eye-catching, and he is stable in his dealings with others. I'm afraid there is an inside story. ah.

Wang Jiji, Jia Luan and others also congratulated the old lady on her birthday!

Mrs. Jiang smiled from ear to ear and told them, the monkeys, to sit down quickly.
At this moment, other ladies also came forward to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. Some showed off their handkerchiefs, insoles, and screens, some recited poems, and performed a small talent show.
Mrs. Jiang would wink at her little grandson from time to time. Jiang Shaoqing was indifferent, and the little girl's ears turned red.
"Grandma, how are you? Are you still happy today?"

"Rejoice, rejoice!"

The old lady smiled from ear to ear.

"That's good, my grandson has a surprise for you, Leng Lie, let them come up."

"Yes."

After a while, some opera characters similar to Peking Opera came up and began to sing "Ma Gu's birthday". The old lady and other guests were attracted by this wonderful drama.

The troupe he hired specially to sing the role of Magu was a famous actor.

Everyone gathered around to watch the play.

Seeing that his grandmother was entranced, Jiang Shaoqing wiped his sweat away and finally excused herself.

He looked at Beiyao who was watching carefully and felt a little uncomfortable.
After singing Magu's birthday celebration, it was time for the birthday banquet to officially start, and everyone went to the table to eat.

There are differences between men and women. There is a super large double-sided embroidered red plum screen between the female family members and the male guests.

The waiters at Yumanlou dressed in uniform and started serving dishes one by one, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When the dishes were served, everyone's eyes were wide open. One dish followed another, and the names were very nice, such as "Double Dragons Playing with Pearls" and "Cooked Pork with Tangerine Peel".
It was indeed the first time for them to see these dishes. After trying them, they were full of praise for Yumanlou.

Even after returning to the capital, the well-informed old lady has never eaten it.

The spicy fish head with chopped pepper tastes really delicious.

The old lady was so spicy that she kept drinking corn juice, and then took a bite of the hot-pot bullfrog.
Aunt Jade was waiting on the side. She had never seen such food in the palace for many years. Dongli Kingdom was vast and rich in resources, with delicacies from mountains and seas. Even the food was so diverse.
I'm just worried that the old lady will feel uncomfortable at night due to excess food accumulation.
The ladies and ladies are all a bit unable to control their own behavior. Fortunately, the men and women are not dining together, so they are not so intolerant.

Wang Jiji felt like he was being slapped in the face again. Fortunately, he didn't openly fall out just now.

It seems that this fat woman is really good at cooking, she has two brushes, and her hands are pretty good, but her temper is not very docile. For the sake of her good cooking skills, let's let her go for now.

After a lively meal, in the end Chef Xie and the waiter brought a super large birthday cake. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"

They also sang birthday songs.

Luo Zhi'er also came from behind the crowd. She was afraid that they wouldn't know how to operate this birthday cake.

The birthday cake was surrounded by various longevity peaches. It seemed to be three layers, with a big birthday peach on the top and the word "longevity" with a candle on it.

The maids and women also started singing together, which was what they had just been ordered to do outside.

Seeing that they had finished singing and the candles were still burning, Luo Zhi'er hurriedly stepped forward and said crisply: "Old lady, I wish you a happy birthday. May your Xuan Pavilion be everlasting, may your beauty be long and beautiful, may your life be as high as the sky, and may your blessing be as great as the earth."

"Old lady, please make a wish and blow out the candles! Make it silently! It will be more effective!"

Before the old lady had time to ask who this fat lady was who was so cute, she quickly made a wish as if she was chasing a duck!
After making her wish, the old lady blew out the candles and then began to cut the cake.

The little passerby will then hand out a small spoon.

Everyone had eaten too much just now, and their stomachs were a little full. When they saw this cake, they couldn't help but take a small bite, and finished the whole piece as they ate.

It was soft and glutinous, and not too sweet. Wang Jiji ate one piece and asked for another.

Jia Luan's eyes flashed, he dug out a small piece and put it on Wang Jiji's nose, and the whole crowd burst into laughter.
"Oh, I have lived so many years. It turns out that people in Taoyuan Town celebrate their birthdays like this. This is the first time I have experienced it, and I feel young again!"

To be honest, Mrs. Jiang, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang Mansion, is not saying that she is bad or unfilial, but that she is a bit too upright and lacks any vitality. The children in the mansion are all grown up and lifeless, and they only try to liven things up when they get older.
Aunt Yu looked helplessly at the old lady, watching her eat the last bite of the cake. She would toss and turn again that night and couldn't fall asleep. It was a rare moment of enjoyment.

She also ate a piece of cake, glanced at the lady named Luo, and fell into deep thought.
"Where is the butler?"

"The little one is here."

"Everyone in the house today, the first-class servants and maids will be rewarded with three taels of silver, the second-class servants and maids will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the third-class servants and everyone inside and outside the kitchen today will be rewarded with one ounce of silver!"

Jiang Shaoqing said.

"Yes!"

The maid and mother-in-law were very happy.

"Thank you to the chef, three taels of silver, and each of the servants in the building will receive two taels of silver!"

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang."

He looked at Luo Zhi'er and said, "What reward do you want?"

Just now, his grandmother grabbed him and told him that he wanted to thank Prince Ye and reward the people who were famous in Manlou. She liked this Madam Luo very much.

Luo Zhi'er was stunned and said, "Master Jiang, I have something to say to you in private."

Jiang Shaoqing said calmly, "Okay!"

"You come with me."

Bring Luo Zhi'er into his reception room.

People looked at each other in confusion, why did this fat cook and cook do this?
None of them expected that Jinshui Tower would get the moon first.

The old lady frowned. She didn't mean that. She was so brave. Why did Shaoqing bring her in?
Wang Jiji and Jia Luan looked at Ye Beiyao a little strangely. Ye Beiyao was very calm and gave them a calm look.
